What do you think will be the most difficult part about living inside the Big Brotherhouse?
Seeing the same people every day, but I've been through a similar experience studying abroad.

Which past Big Brother cast member did you like most:
Brendon Villegas from Seasons 12 and 13. He basically said, "It's me and my girl vs. the house. Let's go."

Do you have a strategy for winning the game?
Yeah, try to read people and relate with everybody, be real, don't get caught up in stories, earn people's trust and keep it.

My life's motto is… Fear none, regret less.
